Margaret Thomson 1846. Dumbarton, Scotland

[p.risboy]

She married Reuben Gilson 11 May 1869. Anderston, Glasgow. Her Parents were John Thomson(Occ.Blacksmith) & Susan(nee' Baird).

Margaret Gilson married Enoch Bedson, 18 Apr 1885 • West Gorton, All Saints, Lancashire. (Both were widowed).

I cannot find a birth/baptism for Margaret Thomson/Thompson, nor a marriage in ScotlandsPeople, for her parents John & Susan.




Has anyone any ideas.

Steve.

Nothing to do with what your looking for but did Margaret have a child in 1866?

 

[gibbo]

Dont know if its your fella or if it is you might already have this. Coincidence?

Reuben Gilson, stonemason, was charged by Mary Thompson, single woman of Scalford, with been the father of her illegitimate child - Defendant did not appear, and was ordered to pay 2s per week.
Leicester Chronicle - Saturday 08 December 1866

This one says where he is from

Reuben Gilson, stonemason, of Meltor, was charged Mary Thompson with being the father of her child. Ordered to pay 2*. p*r week.

 

[p.risboy]

Yes, that's the chap. I have that piece of information already. I haven't followed it up though.

Not knowing when the illigimate child was born, and what surname it would go by, maybe a problem. Also, was Mary Thomson a sister to Margaret.?????????
But maybe.......................??

Mary Thompson baptised 4 October 1846 Scalford, Leics parents Stephen and Maria.

Stephen and Maria had a shedload of children baptised in Scalford but no Margaret. They couldn't be Margaret's parents as the names are wrong.

Just trying to link this......................'Reuben Gilson, stonemason, was charged by Mary Thompson, single woman of Scalford, with being the father of her illegitimate child - Defendant did not appear, and was ordered to pay 2s per week'.

"Also, was Mary Thomson a sister to Margaret.?????????"

Just saying that in answer to your question I don't think Mary and Margaret were related. There is also a Reuben Gilson born Melton Mowbray in 1840 to William and Charlotte who may be the father of Mary's illegitimate child.

 

[p.risboy]

Ah yes. Sorry about that. Got carried away with Thompson & Thomson.

Thanks for straightening me up.

 

[gibbo]

Oops Thanks emeltee for clearing that up.

Sorry Steve, just a name you don't hear a lot, Reuben Gilson, so thought it was worth checking out.
